Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to reducing power consumption in portable radiotelephones. More specifically, this invention relates to an apparatus and method for reducing cellular telephone transmissions when a variable rate vocoder operates at a minimum encoding rate.
  • a users speech input to a cellular telephone is digitized. Since cellular frequency spectrum is a valuable commodity, compression techniques are employed to reduce the data rate (and therefore the amount of information) necessary to transmit the digitized speech over the cellular airwaves.
  • the digital circuitry used to accomplish at least some of the compression is generally referred to as a vocoder.
  • a vocoder analyzes an input speech in blocks of time (commonly referred to as frames) and encodes the input using certain vocoder parameters.
  • the vocoder parameters are calculated for each frame.
  • One class of speech coders includes Code Excited Linear Predictive Coding (CELP), Stochastic Coding, and Vector Excited Speech Coding.
  • CELP Code Excited Linear Predictive Coding
  • Stochastic Coding Stochastic Coding
  • Vector Excited Speech Coding As an example of the vocoder parameters, in a CELP vocoder, the parameters relate to a Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) filter, a pitch filter, and waveform excitation.
  • LPC Linear Predictive Coding
  • variable rate vocoding reduces the data rate for periods of silence in the input speech signal to produce a variable output data (frame) rate.
  • variable rate vocoder in the cellular telephone (also referred to as a mobile station) reduces the amount of data that the cellular telephone transmits to increase channel capacity. However, even for encoded frames of the input speech where there is no audio content (e.g. periods of silence), the cellular telephone still transmits the encoded signal. This causes the cellular telephone to use valuable DC battery power more than is necessary. This excessive use of battery power in turn reduces the available talk time for a cellular telephone for any given battery charge. Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus and method to reduce power consumption in a cellular telephone that employs a variable rate vocoder.

  • FIG. 1 shows a second mobile station 104 concurrently communicating with the remote base station 102.
  • the cellular telephone system 90 operates via a multiple access technique referred to as code division multiple access (CDMA).
  • CDMA code division multiple access
  • Other multiple access techniques such as time division multiple access (TDMA) or a combination of TDMA and CDMA, can be employed so long as a variable rate vocoder is utilized in the cellular telephone units.
  • TDMA time division multiple access
  • CDMA variable rate vocoder
  • the cellular telephone 100 includes a transmitter lineup 106 coupled through duplexer 110 to an antenna 112.
  • a conventional receiver 108 is also coupled to the antenna 112 through the duplexer 110.
  • the duplexer 110 provides isolation between the transmit signals and receive signals as is know in the art. For cellular systems that do not employ full duplex operation, the duplexer 110 is not needed.
  • a conventional synthesizer 114 generates reference signals and radio frequency signals for the transmission and reception of cellular telephone signals.
  • the controller 116 is for control of the functions of the cellular telephone 100.
  • the controller comprises any of a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a digital signal processor (DSP), and various digital logic circuitry. All line connections between the components are not shown so as not to unduly complicate the drawing figure.
  • various cellular telephone components, such as the microphone, speaker, and keyboard are not shown so as to not unduly complicate the drawing figure.
  • the transmitter lineup 106 is for receiving user input information and transmitting the information to the base station 102.
  • the transmitter lineup 106 generally includes analog-to-digital conversion circuitry 120, a variable rate vocoder 122, a modulator 124, and a transmitter 126.
  • Input speech signals from a user that appear at input port 118 are directed to the analog-to-digital conversion circuitry 120 where the input is digitized as is known in the art.
  • the digitized speech signal is coupled to the variable rate vocoder 122 where it is encoded at any of a plurality of different frame rates depending upon the audio content in the speech signal.
  • the variable rate vocoder 122 implements the CELP coding technique to provide a variable rate in coded speech data.
  • the encoded signal is coupled to the conventional modulator 124 to convert the digital input symbols into waveforms that are compatible with the transmission channel.
  • the modulator 124 employs phase shift keying (PSK) as is know in the art.
  • PSK phase shift keying
  • Other modulation techniques, such as minimum shift keying (MSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) can be employed.
  • the modulated signal is processed by the transmitter 126 to further prepare the input information for transmission.
  • the transmitter 126 includes conventional components such as up-conversion circuitry (mixers), filters, gain control circuitry, and a power amplifier.
  • each frame is comprised of 160 samples, or 20 msec, of speech, at an 8 KHz sampling rate.
  • Other sampling rates and frame sizes can be employed.
  • the variable rate vocoder 122 FIG. 1 is operable to encode frames of information at a plurality of different frame rates.
  • data transmission is at an 8.55 Kbps vocoding at the eighth rate is primarily used where there is no audio content represented in the input speech signal. This occurs, for example, when the user is not talking into the cellular telephone 100. This can result from the user listening to someone else speaking to the user for significant periods of time.
  • variable rate vocoder This can also occur when the user calls into a conference type call and is primarily listening to other callers speak during the conference call, when the user is listening to voice mail, or when the user is listening to broadcast channel services.
  • the user can also cause the variable rate vocoder to begin vocoding at the eighth rate by hitting a mute button (not shown) on the cellular telephone 100.
  • variable rate vocoder 122 there is generally little or no real information/audio content present in the input signal when the variable rate vocoder 122 is operating at the eighth rate.
  • the input signal to the vocoder is still encoded, but that particular 20 msec frame of information has no meaningful content and serves mainly as a place holder. Therefore, the cellular telephone 100 wastes battery power by having the transmitter 126 process the eighth rate vocoded frame for transmission.
  • the controller 116 is coupled to the variable rate vocoder 122 and detects the encoding rate of the variable rate vocoder.
  • the controller 116 detects a decrease in the encoding rate to a predetermined rate, here the minimum encoding rate (e.g. the eighth rate)
  • the controller generates a message request to enter a reduced transmission mode that is coupled to the transmitter lineup 106 for transmission to the base station 102.
  • the message request is sent as an Order message via a traffic channel.
  • a dedicated control channel (DCCH) via the EIA/TIA IS-2000 CDMA standard, incorporated herein by reference, can be used to send the message.
  • the Order message is defined in the cellular standard and it is made up of multiple fields.
  • One such field is an acknowledgement required field (also referred to as an Ack Required field).
  • the Ack Required field is set to one to indicate to the base station 102 that the cellular telephone 100 requires the base station 102 to acknowledge the cellular telephone request.
  • the controller 116 causes the transmitter 126 to reduce a transmit duty cycle of operation to cause the cellular telephone to operate in a reduced transmission mode. In this mode, the transmitter 126 reduces its duty cycle of operation. This can be explained more clearly with reference to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the transmitter 126 of FIG. 1.
  • the elements shown in FIG. 2 is only one example embodiment of the transmitter 126, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that other transmitter lineups with additional passive and active components can be used without the use of the inventive capacity.
  • the transmitter 126 generally includes an IQ modulator 140 for receiving digitally modulated input signals. After IQ modulation the signal is coupled to a bandpass filter 142 to filter out mixing, intermodulation, and spurious components resulting from the IQ modulation. The filtered signal is applied to the variable gain amplifier (VGA) 144 for gain control as is known in the art. The gain control is thus for either increasing or decreasing the amplitude of the modulated information signal. If the cellular telephone 100 is closer to the base station 102, then the gain of the VGA 144 is decreased. The gain adjusted signal is then applied to upconversion mixer 146 for conversion to a radio frequency channel for transmission.
  • VGA variable gain amplifier
  • various components of the transmitter 126 are coupled together via line 162. This is for carrying a battery save signal present at the battery save input 160 to the various components of the transmitter.
  • the controller 116 changes the battery save signal (also referred to as a battery save bit) from asserted low to asserted high. Changing the battery save bit to asserted high causes a reduction in power to various components of the transmitter 126.
  • the line 162 couples the battery save bit to the VGA 144.
  • FIG. 3 shows a partial schematic diagram and partial block diagram of the VGA 144.
  • bias circuitry 170 is coupled to a variable gain amplifier circuit 172.
  • the bias circuit 170 is used to provide bias current to power the VGA circuit 172 via line 174.
  • the bias current present on line 174 is a current mirrored from current source 176 using conventional transistor current mirror techniques.
  • the current source 176 represents a reference current source to bias the VGA circuit 172.
  • the current source is coupled through a P-channel MOSFET transistor 178 to a collector terminal of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) 180.
  • BJT bipolar junction transistor
  • the collector terminal of BJT 180 is also coupled through BJT 182 to the base terminal of BJT 180.
  • the base terminal of BJT 184 is coupled to the base terminal of BJT 180.
  • the bias current present on line 174 is proportional to the current produced by current source 176 as is known in the art.
  • the gate terminal 190 of the P-channel MOSFET 178 is coupled to receive the battery save bit and acts as a switch.
  • the P- channel MOSFET 178 acts as an open circuit and no reference current is generated. Therefore, when the battery save bit is asserted high, the VGA circuit 172 does not consume current.
  • N-channel MOSFET 200 acts as a switch and couples the collector terminal of BJT 180 to ground
  • N-channel MOSFET 202 couples the base terminals of BJT 180 and 184 to ground.
  • the battery save signal is asserted high
  • N-channel MOSFETS 200 and 202 act as short circuits to further turn off BJTs 180 and 184.
  • the transmitter 126 reduces its duty cycle of operation. This occurs when the controller 116 (FIG. 1) detects the variable rate vocoder operating at the eighth frame rate.
  • the reduced duty cycle of operation comprises the transmitter 126 reducing power consumption by its various transmitter components through techniques already previously described.
  • the reduced duty cycle of operation means that the transmitter 126 reduces the power to the various transmitter components every other 20 msec frame while the variable rate vocoder 122 encodes at the eighth frame rate.
  • the transmitter 126 reduces its duty cycle of operation from a first duty cycle of operation (e.g. 100% where the transmitter is powered to operate for every 20 msec vocoder frame) to a second, reduced duty cycle of operation of substantially 50%.
  • Other reduced duty cycles can alternatively be employed (e.g. not transmitting for every third eighth rate frame during operation in the reduced transmission mode).
  • the base station 102 treats the erasures as expected erasures rather than as erasures resulting from signal propagation conditions.
  • the base station 102 operates using a power control algorithm. The base station receives a signal from the cellular telephone 100 and alters either its own transmit power or sends a command to the cellular telephone 100 to reduce the cellular telephone 100 transmit power depending upon the level of the signal the base station 102 receives from the cellular telephone 100 and/or depending upon whether the base station 102 detects an erasure.
  • the base station 102 will detect erasure and otherwise instruct the cellular telephone 100 to increase its transmit power.
  • the base station power control algorithm comprises a first power control algorithm and a second power control algorithm.
  • the base station 102 When the cellular telephone 100 is not operating in the reduced transmission mode, the base station 102 operates via the first, conventional power control algorithm. When the cellular telephone 100 is operating in the reduced transmission mode, the base station 102 operates via the second power control algorithm. In the second power control algorithm, the base station 102 ignores erasures and instead uses a frame of data preceding each particular erasure for power control calculations and analysis.
  • the base station 102 when the base station 102 detects an erasure indication during operating via the second power control algorithm, the base station 102 just uses whatever the last frame of information was prior to that particular erasure.
  • one input to the power control algorithm is frame rate, and during operation in the reduced transmission mode, instead of the base station 102 receiving an indication of frames of 1/8th, 1/8th, 1/8th, it's going to receive an indication of 1/8th, 1/8th erasure, 1/8th, etc.
  • the base station 102 just ignore the erasure indication and uses the just previous 20 msec frame of data.
  • the base station 102 when the cellular telephone 100 operates in the reduced transmission mode, the base station 102 must alter the base station 102 manner of operation in yet another way. Particularly, while the base station 102 is in signal communication with the cellular telephone 100, the base station performs a dropped call analysis. For example, normally if the base station 102 detects a predetermined number of erasure indications in a predetermined amount of time, the base station assumes that the signal connection with the cellular telephone 100 has been disconnected (e.g. a dropped call has occurred). In the altered manner of operation, however, the base station 102 does not include in its drop call analysis erasures that it detects during operation in the reduced transmission mode.
  • the base station 102 utilizes a rate determination algorithm and would thus detect the cellular telephone 100 change in the encoding rate by detecting cellular telephone 100 transmissions of two consecutive frames resulting from an encoding frame rate different than the eighth rate.
  • the base station would accordingly alter its manner of operation to treat received erasures as erasures due to poor/deteriorated signal conditions rather than expected erasures.
  • the cellular telephone 100 can send a special message to the base station 102 to inform the base station 102 of the cellular telephone exiting the reduced transmission mode and of the cellular telephone correspondingly increasing its duty cycle of operation.
  • the base station 102 sends a message to the cellular telephone 100 ordering the cellular telephone 100 to suspend operation in the reduced transmission mode.
  • the base station 102 does this under conditions such as if the base station detects that the quality of a received signal has degraded as a result of the cellular telephone 100 being on the fringe of the base station 102 cell site. Other conditions are if there are high fading rates or if other system parameters have changed since the cellular telephone 100 was approved to operate via the reduced transmission mode.
  • the cellular telephone saves battery power to increase the available talk time for the cellular telephone. For example, for a 7 dBm cellular telephone output power and a voice activity factor (VAF) of 40% (e.g.
  • VAF voice activity factor
  • the previous three current savings examples corresponded to the cellular telephone operating via what is commonly referred to as rate set 1 or 2 for either the IS-95 A or IS-95 B standard.
  • rate set 1 or 2 for either the IS-95 A or IS-95 B standard.
  • rate set 3 in what is referred to as IS-2000 (e.g. wherein the cellular telephone transmits a reverse link pilot signal)
  • there is also a savings in power consumption for example, when the cellular telephone is transmitting at 23 dBm output power and all 1/8 rate frames, there is an approximately 10% power consumption operation when operating in the reduced transmission mode.

Abstract

Téléphone cellulaire AMCR (90) avec des transmissions réduites depuis le téléphone AMCR (90) vers une station de base distante (102). Un vocodeur à débit variable (122) fonctionne de manière à recevoir un signal d'entrée et coder le signal d'entrée avec n'importe lequel de plusieurs débits de trames en réponse à une certaine quantité de contenu audio présente dans le signal d'entrée. Un contrôleur (116) surveille un taux de codage de fonctionnement du vocodeur à débit variable (122) et détecte les situations lorsque le vocodeur à vitesse variable (122) fonctionne à une vitesse prédéterminée. Le contrôleur (116) fait ensuite en sorte que l'émetteur (126) couplé au vocodeur à débit variable (122) réduise le coefficient d'utilisation.
